I have been having the most difficult time with skincare and makeup lately and it’s making me wonder if I should start fresh. I would like some advice on the best skin care routine (makeup and prep).
I have “combo skin” where I’m wicked oily in the t-zone and super dry everywhere else including under the eyes. I suffer from dermatitis often as well. I am very sensitive so I’m starting to think water based products would work best? I am not super ance prone but I do struggle primarily with under the eye area the most. I also have very dark circles with creasing!
I am looking for everything, right down to recommendations on setting powders.

I currently am using cerave daily am moisture and their night time (the thicker one in the smaller bottle)

I also use First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Oil-Control Moisturizer 1.7 oz/ 50 mL in the oily spots. Before all creams I apply

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum .

I have the #The INKEY List Caffeine De-puffing + Dark Circle Eye Cream 0.5 oz/ 15 mL for under the eyes.
sunscreen I use Evereden SPF 50 Premium Mineral Sunscreen 2 oz / 60 mL

I don’t use foundation often so I only use concealer under the eyes and tzone and I am using the Tower 28 Beauty Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer but Not loving it. It gets super dry and creases really bad.

if I am to bake, I use Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Longwear Setting Powder which I do not like.
The one concealer I’ve ever loved was the one that has been reformulated and I’m not liking the new one. I enjoy a good coverage for the darkness but I don’t love a heavy formula!

Anything at this point would be helpful.
